Rose Celli
Rose Angéline Alexandrine Celli (; 1895–1982) was a French novelist, playwright, translator and poet. She wrote children's books, poetry and novels for adults, and is best known for her children's books published as part of the series. Early life and education Celli was born in Philippeville, Algeria, in March 1895. Her father was of Alsatian heritage and her mother was Corsican. She spent four years at secondary school in Philippeville, after which she moved to France and attended a preparatory course at a high school in Versailles. She subsequently entered the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles, intending to become a teacher. She was a classmate of Suzanne Febvre, the wife of Lucien Febvre. Celli did not graduate, however, due to a disagreement with the school's administration. She was later paid to undertake copy-editing of Lucien Febvre's '' Encyclopédie française''. Around the time of leaving the École she married the painter Elmiro Celli (1870–1958). ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Philippeville
Philippeville (; ) is a city and municipality of Wallonia located in the province of Namur, Belgium. The Philippeville municipality includes the former municipalities of Fagnolle, Franchimont, Jamagne, Jamiolle, Merlemont, Neuville, Omezée, Roly, Romedenne, Samart, Sart-en-Fagne, Sautour, Surice, Villers-en-Fagne, Villers-le-Gambon, and Vodecée. History The foundation of Philippeville At the beginning of the 16th century, the Philippeville region was on the boundary between Charles V’s Burgundian Netherlands and Francis I’s France. Fighting around Philippeville did not start, however, until 1554, after Henry II had succeeded his father on the throne. This area was ideal for an attack as it was covered with forests, sparsely populated and divided among the County of Hainaut, that of Namur, by now part of Burgundy, and the Prince-Bishopric of Liège.

Amelia Earhart
Amelia Mary Earhart ( ; July 24, 1897 – January 5, 1939) was an American aviation pioneer. On July 2, 1937, she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the world. During her life, Earhart embraced celebrity culture and women's rights, and since her disappearance has become a global cultural figure. She was the first female pilot to fly solo non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean and set many other records. She was one of the first aviators to promote commercial air travel, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences, and was instrumental in the formation of Ninety-Nines, The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. Earhart was born and raised in Atchison, Kansas, and developed a passion for adventure at a young age, steadily gaining flying experience from her twenties. In 1928, she became a celebrity after becoming the first female passenger to cross the Atlantic by airplane. In 1932, she became th ...
